[blindkid] New Family

[Sally Thomas]

Hi Heather,

Nice to meet you and congratulations on your new child!  There are several 
parents on this list who have adopted blind children--from many parts of the 
world.  Both of my kids were adopted.  My son is blind and he was born in 
Texas.

Where does your family live?  There are chapters of our group in many parts 
of the country.  We look forward to talking with you about your son and 
providing any help we can.

Sally Thomas
